Next, you will be moved to the Apple Health or Google Fit App.

• For the Get Active Tracker to work, you must allow the app to access all health data categories listed.
• Tap “Turn All Categories On” and all four of the switches will turn to green.
• Then tap Allow at the top and you’ll be all set!

**If you don’t Turn All Categories On, your tracker will not work. Here’s how to make it work:

• Go into your Apple Health or Google Fit app, find your settings and select Apps.
• On the next screen, choose your Kidney Walk app.
• Then tap “Turn All Categories On”
• Go back to your Kidney Walk app and refresh. You should be connected now.

These are Get Active badges. They will turn “on” when you accomplish one of six activity Challenges. Go to the next page to learn more.
